I am so thankful I began this journey. The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method changed my life! I know that sounds dramatic, but the changes in my body are exactly that… Dramatic! I was not only seriously overweight, but I was borderline diabetic and my triglycerides were dangerously high. I was headed for a miserable existence. I decided things had to change after receiving those scary lab results. Life and time were too precious.

So… I began the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method during, of all months, November! We all know what happens in November and December. All I kept thinking was, “How am I going to survive the holidays on this plan?” Funny, the plan carried me through the holidays and even my 49th birthday. In 10 months I blew right past my 69 pound weight loss goal.

All of my subsequent blood work-ups read like a completely different person. All the scary disease markers are nonexistent and my closet received a complete makeover! I went from a size 14/16 to a size 4. I have learned so much about how to approach food and I have my coaches, providers, and the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method and videos to thank. This experience has truly been a blessing! Thanks Deerwood Family Practice for being my cheerleaders! Your encouragement has made the biggest difference in this whole process. God bless you all!

I knew when I decided to do the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method, it was going to be my last attempt at weight loss. I had done so many diets for so many years, lost and gained weight, felt the shame that goes with it, this felt like do or die. I found the program so easy to follow because it is simple. And for the first time, I didn’t really feel hungry because I was getting adequate protein. The daily videos kept me focused and on track each day. The weekly weigh-ins with someone reviewing what I had actually eaten, made me accountable.

I made one thing a little easier with that and created a chart with an entire week of foods that I planned to eat and times that I planned to eat them. Then I was able to just check the box when I ate. Not having to think about choices, as Dr. Wilkinson said in one of the videos, made it much easier to stick to the plan. As a former grazer now in Phase 4, I still eat this way and it helps me maintain control. Two other things helped. One of the office staff suggested I create an Ideal Protein pantry. Foodies have a real fear of running out of food, so having a pantry with more than a week worth of food created a buffer and the level of comfort I needed.

The final thing I did that helped me with my success, was that I determined at the beginning of the program, if I was going to “cheat” it was only going to be with Ideal Protein food. So, if I felt super deprived and was feeling sorry for myself, I would have an extra bar and feel as if I had indulged, but not on a Snickers! I love the outcome! This program changed the way I look, I was a size 20 and now I am a size 8. It changed the way I think about food, teaching me I can be successful in not only losing weight, but learning to and enjoying eating healthy. And of course, it changed the way I feel about myself. I can be successful!! Thanks for bringing this program to your office. I owe you my life!!
